From the first Inierveiw, the exerpt "Is your Job Dangerous". One significant peice of information I learned that the man intervewer said is that you are not a worker unless you get killed because I didnt know that his job was that dangerous.
From the second interveiw the most imprortant thing that I learned was that people die from Silica and its not unusual for somebody to die on the job. People thought that it was the grainite that was killing everybody but it was the Silica that was killing them and the man was not going to touch it because he didnt want to die. He didnt care about the money either, his life was more important.
From the third interview "Do you like working in the mill" I learned that the women started working in the mill since she was ten years old and it was nothing new to her. She planted her first plant when she had to stand on a box to reach and that shows that people back then didnt care how old they were they just wanted the food and the money.
From the fourth interview "How long have you worked in the stockyards" I learned that the most important peice of information is that your job didnt mean anything unless that you observed the hollidays.
The rest of the story the most important information is that work is important if you want to survive because if you dont do your work you wont get food or money. Also, you don't care if there is a death in the place that you work. It is normal for people to die in the factory because of the deadly disease and the lack of safety regulations.

All of the interviews seemed to follow a common pattern. Each person was having trouble or a hard time, no matter what they were doing. For example, in the first interview I read, "Is the Dust bad in the stoneheads?", Mr. Garavelli stated that the Silica is like a knife in your chest. Silica is found in dust and granite, and it is fatal when inhaled. Luckily for this man, he didn't die from Silica because there wasn't too much dust at his end of the shed. Although, he also said that he didn't work as much, but it didn't matter because less work equaled less Silica. Another interview read was, "When you worked as a maid, did you mainly do housework?" Marie Haggerty was interviewed and had a good, clear response. She said "You got hired by your looks." Therefore, if you were an unattractive women, it would be hard to find a job like this. Mrs. Haggerty also said that even if you looked honest, the owners would always test you. For example, Marie saw a stray 5 dollar bill when cleaning, but she knew she was being tested so she let it be. In the excerpt "How long have you worked in the stockyards?", another women was interviewed. Anna Novak worked in the stock yards for 8 years. She, like the other women agreed that they would get along better if they let the men have a little le-way with them. Anna stated "You could get along swell if you let the boss slap you on the behind." Finally was the interview "Do you like working in a mill?" Alice Caudle was ten years old when she begain to work in the mill. She said "I reckon I was born to work in a mill." Caudle worked for as long as she possibly could.
Final Paragraph- Combined:
